WHEREAS, Borrowers have requested that Lenders provide a credit facility to Borrowers, and Lenders are willing to provide such credit facility on the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents (as defined below).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual conditions and agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

6

9.00%


Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) from the Closing Date through May 31, 2026 and (b) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Specified Event of Default, the Applicable Margin will be based on Pricing Level II. Except as set forth in the foregoing sentence, the Applicable Margin shall be calculated by Agent on a monthly basis based on the consolidated financial results and Compliance Certificates delivered by the Administrative Borrower pursuant to
Section 7.1.

2.4 Joint and Several Liability. Term Loans made to Borrowers shall be deemed jointly funded to, and received by, Borrowers. Each Borrower jointly and severally agrees to pay, and shall be jointly and severally liable for the payment in full and performance of, all Obligations. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the joint and several liability of Borrowers are provided as an inducement to Agent to provide Term Loans to Borrowers, and that each such Term Loan shall be deemed to have been made or extended by Agent in consideration of, and in reliance upon, the joint and several liability of Borrowers. The joint and several liability of each Borrower hereunder is absolute, unconditional and continuing, regardless of the validity or enforceability of any of the Obligations, or the fact that a security interest or lien in any Collateral may not be enforceable or subject to equities or defenses or prior claims in favor of others, or may be invalid or defective in any way and for any reason. Each Borrower hereby waives: (a) all notices to which such Borrower may be entitled as a co-obligor with respect to the Obligations, including, without limitation, notice of (i) acceptance of this Agreement, (ii) the making of Term Loans under this Agreement, or the creation or existence of the Obligations, and (iii) presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest and notice of non-payment; and (b) all defenses based on (i) any modification (or series of modifications) of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents that may create a substituted contract, or that may fundamentally alter the risks imposed on such Borrower hereunder, (ii) the release of any other Borrowers (or any other Loan Party) from its duties this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or the extension of the time of performance of any other Borrower’s duties hereunder or thereunder, (iii) the taking, releasing, impairment or abandonment of any Collateral, or the settlement, release or compromise of the Obligations or any other Borrower’s or Guarantor’s liabilities with respect to all or any portion of the Obligations, or (iv) any other act (or any failure to act) that fundamentally alters the risks imposed on such Borrower by virtue of its joint and several liability hereunder. It is the intent of each Borrower by this paragraph to waive any and all suretyship defenses available to such Borrower with respect to the Obligations, whether or not specifically enumerated above. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, it is the intent of the parties hereto that the joint and several nature of the

39


 

liabilities of Borrowers, and the security interests and liens granted by Borrowers to secure the Obligations, not constitute a fraudulent conveyance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code, or a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under the applicable provisions of any fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar law of any state, nation or other governmental unit, as in effect from time to time. Accordingly, Agent and Borrowers agree that if the obligations and liabilities of any Borrowers hereunder, or any security interests or liens granted by such Borrowers securing the Obligations would, but for the application of this sentence, constitute a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable Law, the obligations and liabilities of such Borrowers hereunder, as well as the security interests securing such obligations and liabilities, shall be valid and enforceable only to the maximum extent that would not cause such obligations, liabilities or security interests to constitute a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable Law. Each Borrower hereby agrees that until the full and final payment and satisfaction of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement, such Borrower will not exercise any subrogation, contribution or other right or remedy against any other Borrowers or any security for any of the Obligations arising by reason of such Borrower’s performance or satisfaction of its joint and several liability hereunder. In addition, each Borrower agrees (A) such Borrower’s right to receive any payment of amounts due with respect to such subrogation, contribution or other rights is subordinated to the full and final payment and satisfaction of the Obligations, and (B) not to demand, sue for or otherwise attempt to collect any such payment until the full and final payment and satisfaction of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

Each determination by Agent of any interest, fees or Interest Rate hereunder shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. All fees shall be fully earned when due and shall not be subject to rebate, refund or proration. For purposes of the calculation of the

(b) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided, that, Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Administrative Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

3.6 Maximum Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, in no event whatsoever shall the aggregate of all amounts that are contracted for, charged or received by any Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and that are deemed interest under applicable Law exceed the Maximum Interest Rate (including, to the extent applicable, the provisions of Section 5197 of the Revised Statutes of the United States of America as amended, 12 U.S.C. Section 85, as amended). In the event any interest is charged or received in excess of the Maximum Interest Rate (“Excess”), Borrowers acknowledge and stipulate that any such charge or receipt shall be the result of an accident and bona fide error, and that any Excess received by such Lender shall be applied, first, to the payment of the then outstanding and unpaid Term Loans hereunder; second, to the payment of the other Obligations then outstanding and unpaid; and third, returned to Borrowers by depositing same in a Designated Deposit Account maintained for such purposes. All monies paid to any Lender hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, whether at maturity or by prepayment, shall be subject to any rebate of unearned interest as and to the extent required by applicable Law.

SECTION 5. PAYMENTS AND ADMINISTRATION

5.1 Payments Generally, Allocation of Proceeds; Collection Account Proceeds.

(a) All payments of Obligations shall be made in Dollars, without offset, counterclaim or defense of any kind and in immediately available funds, not later than 12:00 noon on the due date. Any payment after such time shall be deemed made on the next Business Day. If any payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. All Obligations shall be payable to an account Agent may designate in writing to Borrowers from time to time for receipt of payments.

(b) (i) Subject to the other terms and conditions contained herein, so long as no Event of Default has occurred, exists or is continuing, Agent shall apply payments received or collected from Borrowers or for the account of Borrowers (including the monetary proceeds of collections or of realization upon any Collateral) as follows:

first, ratably, to the payment in full of any fees (other than any Prepayment Premium), indemnities or expense reimbursements, including, without limitation, Credit Party Expenses, then due to Agent from Borrowers;

second, ratably, to the payment in full of interest due in respect of any Term Loans;

third, to the payment of the principal amount of any Term Loans then outstanding;

(c) For purposes of calculating the amount of the Term Loans available to Borrowers, such payments will be applied (conditional upon final collection) to the Obligations on the first Business Day after receipt by Agent of immediately available funds provided such payments and notice thereof are received in accordance with Agent’s usual and customary practices as in effect from time to time and within sufficient time to credit the applicable loan account on such day, and if not, then on the next Business Day.

(d) Unless Agent shall have received notice from the Administrative Borrower prior to the time at which any payment is due to Agent hereunder that Borrowers will not make such payment, Agent may assume that Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Credit Parties, as the case may be, the amount due. With respect to any payment that Agent makes hereunder as to which Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that either (1) Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, or (2) Agent has made a payment in excess of the amount so paid by Borrowers (whether or not then owed), then such payment shall be referred to herein as the “Rescindable Amount”.

45


 

5.2 Indemnity for Returned Payments. If after receipt of any payment of, or proceeds of Collateral applied to the payment of, any of the Obligations, Agent or any Lender is required to surrender or return such payment or proceeds to any Person for any reason, then the Obligations intended to be satisfied by such payment or proceeds shall be reinstated and continue and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Agent or such Lender.

This Section 5.2 shall remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may be taken by Agent or such Lender in reliance upon such payment or proceeds.

(b) In the event that the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans outstanding at any time exceeds the Maximum Term Loan Amount, such event shall not limit, waive or otherwise affect any rights of Agent in such circumstances or on any future occasions, and Borrowers shall, upon demand by Agent, which may be made at any time or from time to time, repay to Agent within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such demand the entire amount of any such excess(es) for which payment is demanded; provided, that, in lieu of such repayment, the Administrative Borrower may pledge Eligible Pledged Cash in favor of Agent within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such demand in accordance with paragraph (iii) of the definition of Borrowing Base (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not constitute a prepayment for purposes of Section 5.4(d) below).

(c) Within five (5) Business Days of receipt by Borrowers of any Net Cash Proceeds from any Dispositions described in subclause (c) of the definition of Permitted Dispositions or from any Sale and Leaseback Transaction permitted under Section 8.12, Borrowers shall prepay the Term Loans in an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds.

46


 

(d) Any prepayment made under this Section 5.4 shall be accompanied by the applicable portion of the Prepayment Premium and all accrued interest on the amount prepaid.

Upon written request from Administrative Borrower, Agent shall render to Borrowers a statement setting forth the balance in Borrowers’ loan account(s) maintained by Agent for Borrowers pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, including principal, interest, fees, costs and expenses. Each such statement shall be subject to subsequent adjustment by Agent but shall, absent manifest errors or omissions, be considered correct and deemed accepted by Borrowers and conclusively binding upon Borrowers as an account stated except to the extent that Agent receives a written notice from Administrative Borrower of any specific exceptions of Borrowers thereto within thirty (30) days after the date such statement has been received by Administrative Borrower. Until such time as Agent shall have rendered to Administrative Borrower a written statement as provided above, the balance in Borrowers’ loan account(s) shall be presumptive evidence of the amounts due and owing to Agent by Borrowers, absent manifest error.

5.6 Borrowers’ Loan Account; Evidence of Debt. Agent shall maintain an account or accounts evidencing the Obligations of Borrowers to Agent and Lenders, including the amounts of the Term Loans made by them and each repayment and prepayment in respect thereof, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to Agent and each Lender from time to time hereunder. Any such records shall be presumptively correct, absent manifest error; provided, that, the failure to make any entry or any error in such records, shall not affect any of the Obligations in respect of any applicable Term Loans. Each Lender may request that Term Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such Lender one or more promissory notes payable to such Lender and its registered assigns and in a form approved by Agent and such Lender. Thereafter, the Term Loans evidenced by such promissory note(s) and interest thereon shall at all times be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to such payee and its registered assigns.

5.7 Taxes.

(a) Withholding of Taxes; Gross-Up. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrowers under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Law. If any applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by Borrowers shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.7) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding of Indemnified Taxes been made (the “Additional Amount”).

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by Borrowers. Borrowers shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, or at the option of Agent timely reimburse it for, Other Taxes.

(c) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Loan Parties to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 5.7, the Loan Parties shall deliver to Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Agent.

47


 

required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Administrative Borrower by a Recipient shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Administrative Borrower and Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Administrative Borrower or Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Borrower or Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Administrative Borrower or Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Administrative Borrower or Agent as will enable the Administrative Borrower or Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 5.7(e)(ii)(A), Section 5.7(e)(ii)(B) and Section 5.7(e)(ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Administrative Borrower and Agent on or prior to the date on which such Person becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Administrative Borrower or Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is not subject to U.S. federal backup withholding Tax;

Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E; or

4. to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-2 or Exhibit C-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Administrative Borrower and Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Administrative Borrower or Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit the Administrative Borrower or Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made;

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Borrower and Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Administrative Borrower or Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Borrower or Agent as may be necessary for the Administrative Borrower and Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or

49


 

promptly notify the Administrative Borrower and Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any Recipient determines, in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 5.7 (including by the payment of Additional Amounts pursuant to this Section 5.7), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 5.7 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 5.7(f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.7(f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 5.7(f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This Section 5.7(f) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax Returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(g) Changes to the Lenders. If any Lender requires a Loan Party to pay any Indemnified Taxes or Additional Amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to this Section 5.7, then such Lender shall (at the request of such Loan Party) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to this Section 5.7, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Administrative Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(h) Tax Treatment. The parties hereto intend and agree that the Loans are to be treated as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The parties hereto agree not to take a position inconsistent with this Section 5.7(h) for U.S. federal, state, or local income tax purposes (including without limitation, the filing of any information return, such as an IRS Form 1099), unless there is a determination within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code to the contrary.

(i) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 5.7 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, and the termination of the making of the Term Loans and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except for discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may affect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and

(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Loan Parties or any of their Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Agent or any Agent Affiliate in any capacity;

(d) shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of Lenders as shall be necessary, or as Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.2 and 11.3) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction;

(e) shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to Agent by the Loan Parties or a Lender. Upon the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Applicable Lenders. Unless and until Agent shall have received such direction, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to any such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Credit Parties. In no event shall Agent be required to comply with any such directions to the extent that Agent believes that its compliance with such directions would be unlawful;

(f) shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Security Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 4 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to Agent.

12.4 Reliance by Agent. Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including, but not limited to, any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution)

68


 

believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless Agent shall have received written notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for any Loan Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

12.5 Delegation of Duties. Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub agents appointed by Agent. Agent and any such sub agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub agent and to the Related Parties of Agent and any such sub agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facility provided for herein as well as activities as Agent. Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

12.6 Resignation of Agent. Agent may at any time give written notice of its resignation to Lenders and Borrowers. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right with the consent of the Administrative Borrower at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default (which consent of the Administrative Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor which shall be a Person in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of Lenders, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if Agent shall notify Borrowers and Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any Collateral held by Agent on behalf of Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by Borrowers to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section 12 and Section 11.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as Agent hereunder.

12.7 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document

69


 

furnished hereunder or thereunder. Except as provided in Section 12.12, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Credit Party with any other credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of any Loan Party that may come into the possession of Agent.

12.8 No Other Duties, Etc.. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no person who is or becomes a bookrunner, arranger, syndication agent or documentation agent hereunder shall have any powers, rights, liabilities, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity as Agent or a Lender hereunder.

12.9 Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Agent shall have made any demand on the Loan Parties) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Lenders, Agent and the other Credit Parties (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Lenders, Agent, the other Credit Parties and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due to Lenders, Agent and the other Credit Parties hereunder, including, without limitation under Sections 2.09 and 10.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to Agent and, if Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to Lenders, to pay to Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Agent under Sections 3.3 and 11.5.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

12.10 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. The Credit Parties irrevocably authorize Agent:

(a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted), (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (iii) constituting property in which the Loan Parties owned no interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; (iv) constituting cash to the extent utilized by a Loan Party for the purposes of clauses (r) or (t) of the definition of “Permitted Liens”, (v) if the property subject to such Lien is owned by a Guarantor, upon release of such Guarantor from its obligations under its Guaranty pursuant to clause (c) below or (vi) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Applicable Lenders in accordance with Section 11.3;

(b) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by clause (m) of the definition of Permitted Liens; and

70


 

(c) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Loan Documents if such Person ceases to be a Guarantor as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder.

Upon request by Agent at any time, the Applicable Lenders will confirm in writing Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Loan Documents pursuant to this Section 12.10. In each case as specified in this Section 12.10, Agent will, at the Loan Parties’ expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Security Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations under the Loan Documents, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 12.10.

12.11 Notice of Transfer. Agent may deem and treat a Lender party to this Agreement as the owner of such Lender’s portion of the Obligations for all purposes, unless and until, and except to the extent, an Assignment and Assumption shall have become effective as set forth in Section 13.3.

12.12 Reports and Financial Statements. By signing this Agreement, each Lender:

(a) is deemed to have requested that Agent furnish such Lender, promptly after they become available, copies of all Borrowing Base Certificates, financial statements and other Borrower Materials required to be delivered by Borrowers hereunder and all commercial finance examinations and appraisals of the Collateral received by Agent (collectively, the “Reports”);

(b) expressly agrees and acknowledges that Agent makes no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of any Borrower Materials, and shall not be liable for any information contained in any Borrower Materials (including any Report);

(c) expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, that Agent or any other party performing any audit or examination will inspect only specific information regarding the Loan Parties and will rely significantly upon the Loan Parties’ books and records, as well as on representations of the Loan Parties’ personnel;

(d) agrees to keep all Reports and other Borrower Materials confidential in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.7 hereof; and

(e) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, agrees: (i) to hold Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report harmless from any action the indemnifying Lender may take or conclusion the indemnifying Lender may reach or draw from any Report and any other Borrower Materials in connection with any Loan that the indemnifying Lender has made or may make to Borrowers, or the indemnifying Lender’s participation in, or the indemnifying Lender’s purchase of, a Loan; and (ii) to pay and protect, and indemnify, defend, and hold Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including attorney costs) incurred by Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender.

12.13 Agency for Perfection. Each Lender hereby appoints each other Lender as agent for the purpose of perfecting Liens for the benefit of Agent and Lenders in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC or any other applicable Law of the United States, can be perfected only by possession. Should any Lender (other than Agent) obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with Agent’s instructions.

71


 

12.14 Indemnification of Agent. Without limiting the obligations of the Loan Parties hereunder, Lenders hereby agree to indemnify Agent and any of its Related Parties, as the case may be, ratably according to their pro rata share of the Obligations, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Agent and its Related Parties in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any action taken or omitted to be taken by Agent and any of its Related Parties in connection therewith; provided, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from Agent’s or its Related Parties’ gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

12.15 Relation among Lenders. Lenders are not partners or co-venturers, and no Lender shall be liable for the acts or omissions of, or (except as otherwise set forth herein in the case of Agent) authorized to act for, any other Lender.

74


 

Party, any Subsidiary thereof after the Closing Date, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

SECTION 14. CONTINUING GUARANTY

14.1 Guaranty. Each Guarantor hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Agent and Lenders, as a guaranty of payment and performance and not merely as a guaranty of collection, prompt payment and performance when due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, upon acceleration, demand or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of all Obligations whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees, indemnities, damages, costs, expenses or otherwise, of the Loan Parties to the Credit Parties (including all renewals, extensions, amendments, refinancings and other modifications thereof and all costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Credit Parties in connection with the collection or enforcement thereof) (the “Guarantied Obligations”). Agent’s books and records showing the amount of the Guarantied Obligations shall be admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding, and shall be binding upon each Guarantor, and conclusive for the purpose of establishing the amount of the Guarantied Obligations. This Guaranty shall not be affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guarantied Obligations or any instrument or agreement evidencing any Guarantied Obligations, or by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection, non-perfection or extent of any collateral therefor, or by any fact or circumstance relating to the Guarantied Obligations which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of any Guarantor under this Guaranty, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to any or all of the foregoing.

14.2 Rights of Lenders. Each Guarantor consents and agrees that the Credit Parties may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, and without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness hereof: (a) amend, extend, renew, compromise, discharge, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of the Guarantied Obligations or any part thereof; (b) take, hold, exchange, enforce, waive, release, fail to perfect, sell, or otherwise dispose of any security for the payment of this Guaranty or any Guarantied Obligations; (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Agent and the Lenders in their sole discretion may determine; (d) release or substitute one or more of any endorsers or other guarantors of any of the Guarantied Obligations and (e) increase the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations or any portion thereof, or make any new or additional loans or extensions of credit (whether of the same type(s) and/or different or additional type(s) as the loans and extensions of credit available to the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents/Guaranteed Obligations as of the date hereof) or increase the rates or amounts of any interest on and/or fees on or with respect to or included in the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor consents to the taking of, or failure to take, any action which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of any Guarantor under this Guaranty or which, but for this provision, might operate as a discharge of any Guarantor.

14.3 Certain Waivers. Each Guarantor waives (a) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of Borrowers or any other Obligor or guarantor, or the cessation from any cause whatsoever (including any act or omission of any Credit Party) of the liability of Borrowers; (b) any defense based on any claim that any Guarantor’s obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of Borrowers; (c) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting any Guarantor’s liability hereunder; (d) any right to proceed against

75


 

Borrowers, proceed against or exhaust any security for the Guarantied Obligations, or pursue any other remedy in the power of any Credit Party whatsoever; (e) any benefit of and any right to participate in any security now or hereafter held by any Credit Party; and (f) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all other defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by applicable Law limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties. Each Guarantor expressly waives, all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for payment or performance, notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Guarantied Obligations, and all notices of acceptance of this Guaranty or of the existence, creation or incurrence of new or additional Guarantied Obligations.

14.4 Obligations Independent. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are those of primary obligor, and not merely as surety, and are independent of the Guarantied Obligations and the obligations of any other guarantor, and a separate action may be brought against each Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty whether or not any Borrower or any other person or entity is joined as a party.

14.5 Subrogation. No Guarantor shall exercise any right of subrogation, contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or similar rights with respect to any payments it makes under this Guaranty until payment in full of the Obligations. If any amounts are paid to any Guarantor in violation of the foregoing limitation, then such amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Credit Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Credit Parties to reduce the amount of the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.

14.6 Termination; Reinstatement. This Guaranty is a continuing and irrevocable guaranty of all Guarantied Obligations now or hereafter existing and shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of the Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect or be revived, as the case may be, if any payment by or on behalf of Borrowers or any Guarantor is made, or any of the Credit Parties exercises its right of setoff, in respect of the Guarantied Obligations and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by any of the Credit Parties in their discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, all as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and whether or not the Credit Parties are in possession of or have released this Guaranty and regardless of any prior revocation, rescission, termination or reduction. The obligations of each Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive termination of this Guaranty.

14.7 Subordination. Each Guarantor hereby subordinates the payment of all obligations and indebtedness of the other Loan Parties owing to each Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, including but not limited to any obligation of the other Loan Parties to any Guarantor as subrogee of the Credit Parties or resulting from any Guarantor performance under this Guaranty, to the payment in full of the Obligations. If the Credit Parties so request, any such obligation or indebtedness of the other Loan Parties to any Guarantor shall be enforced and performance received by any Guarantor as trustee for the Credit Parties and the proceeds thereof shall be paid over to the Credit Parties on account of the Guarantied Obligations, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of any Guarantor under this Guaranty.

14.8 Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guarantied Obligations is stayed, in connection with any case commenced by or against any Guarantor or any of the other Loan Parties under any Insolvency Proceeding, or otherwise, all such amounts shall nonetheless be payable by each Guarantor immediately upon demand by the Credit Parties.

14.9 Condition of Loan Parties. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it has the sole responsibility for, and has adequate means of, obtaining from the Loan Parties and any other guarantor such information concerning the financial condition, business and operations of the Loan Parties and any such other guarantor as each Guarantor requires, and that none of the Credit Parties has any duty, and no Guarantor is

76
